In just one week, voters in Milledgeville and Baldwin County will decide if their two governments should become one. If the unification charter passes, it could mean combining the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office with the Milledgeville Police Department.

Baldwin County Sheriff Bill Massee says he won't publicly say if he is for or against a combined government. "We work for the individuals that vote for us in every county and we're the face of the people. It's hard for us to take a position and tell people how they should decide on their government," said Massee.

Warrants have been issued for two men after a hit and run that happened at the intersection of Dunlap Road and North Columbia Street in Milledgeville Saturday around 7 p.m.

According to an incident report, a blue Tahoe rear-ended a smaller car and led police on a chase to a Wendy's parking lot on North Columbia Street. The report states police saw two men, Calvin Hooks and Jamario Napier, get out of the car and flee on foot towards a neighborhood area. Police pursued the men on foot, and Hooks eventually stopped and was taken into custody.

After a search of the car, a .22 revolver was found in the back seat. The make and model of the gun was covered by a red bandanna and clear tape. The report states the gun had been fired and had to be emptied.
